Unfortunately, I did not have a positive buying experience with Filmtools.com. I placed my order for the background paper with the shipping costs provided by the website. I then got a call from the company informing me that their shipping tool on the website was down and that my shipping cost would be $800. I canceled the order and ordered the product from a different website at a better price with fair shipping. I received an email confirming the order cancellation with Filmtools.com but then a couple of days later, I received another email saying my payment didn't process. It was just a bizarre experience and I do not recommend purchasing from this company.

I was looking for 2.5" 1/4-20 couplers to take to a machine shop and have them turned to match what Greg from Primal Rights did for his bench setup. This are still perfect at 3". I found them using image search. As a bonus they are black to match the Inline Fabrication plate. Now, I highly encourage those looking for them to use your favorite search engine as they are half this price on this site and cheaper shipping if you are not a member.

Your chatbot is out of control irritating. If I close it, I don't need it. Instead it kept coming back constantly. Your checkout is horrendous. It would not allow submission with a shipping and a card address.

We ordered this as a special promotion in March. Called to find out the status and learned it would not actually be available to ship until May. And even this was an indefinite commitmentment. There was no warning about the item potentially being on back order. Would not have ordered it when we did if they had been honest.
Why Filmtools?
They appeared to offer a good deal. But is a good deal if it takes two months to show up?
Product Choice
Price/performance appeared attractive but we were taking a risk. Since we have still not received the product it is possible we can be even more unhappy with Filmtools.

The woman I talked with was clueless about problem resolution. Very disappointing way to treat customers.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
